My process

Decided early on to generate/populate the activity-cards HTML elements programmatically using the supplied data from JSON file. A "hardcoded" approach with markup in the HTML + populating merely data might have been an easier solution.

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow
• Async Fetch

What I learned

• Learned how to create and append HTML elements through Javascript code.

Useful resources

• MDN article on data attributes - How to use data attributes
• MDN article on appending elements to parent element - Appending HTML elements
